Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump both were in theaters in 1994. They were iconic films and depicted close relationships between a White man and a Black man. There was not a hint of Racism in either film and instead focused on telling a great story of struggle and triumph.
Now 30 years later, those scripts would be rejected by the Hollywood Elite because of the lack of racism and conflict. It would be interesting to see what a 2024 remake of those films would look like. My guess is, they would fall far short of the original films.
